Retrieved this old bear in a state of hibernation from under an old washing machine. Temperature was 9 degrees F. and I had to thaw the ammo-box cache under the car heater to get it open. Five days ago, the temp. was 82 dgrees F just 12 miles NE in Eureka Springs, AR. After getting thawed, Bearly will party for a few days with our own travel bugs, TB-Rich and TB-Faith, and then head out again, hopefully to the west to see some of his bear-brothers.
